Ideas for present for Nan's 80th

We're at a total loss. She's having a big family party but we wanted to get her a gift too.

Any ideas?

Everyone usually gets her DVDs but she can't currently work the player and it doesn't feel special enough for a big birthday.

Help please!

  • A new DVD Player? One that is easy to use?
  • Or a big family photo and frame it.

    My Nan was recently given a studio photo session from all the family - there were four generations of us having our pictures professionally taken with Nan and Grandad, with digital copies of them all, and getting the best one blown up and framed for their house :)

    Photo session might be a thought, although getting everyone together is a bit of a nightmare, I'm amazed we've managed quite so many for her party!

    The DVD issue is due to a cable box which she won't get rid of :rolleyes:

    Thanks
